You can literally just download copies of all your games and give them the installers, even if it’s in the TOS, there’s nothing stopping you from bequeathing them practically speaking.
Comment on No leaving a Steam account in a will after you die according to Valve
PlzGivHugs@sh.itjust.works 3 months agoDoes GOG allow it? I expect theres a clause for that in their TOS too.

Its the same with password sharing on steam. Doesn’t mean its not against ToS

The difference is that with GOG once you buy something, you can download it and have it forever, with nothing short of extremely drastic measures that the company can do to remove your access. With steam, all they have to do is just disable your account, and you lose everything.

GOG has always been big on non-DRM and giving you direct access to the installers. They do have a launcher, which likely has similar terms as Steam, but there’s no way to enforce the way people use installers.
So it’s more similar to physical media–there’s still legislation, but I don’t believe “passing on” a game would be any more illegal than passing on a physical disk.
And GOG has always been in favor of this model, to my knowledge.
